О Научном Подходе в Дискуссии О Значении Гендерных Исследований и Гендерного Законодательства Для России (Scientific Approach in the Discussion About the Importance of the Gender Studies and the Gender Legislation for Russia)

Abstract

Russian Abstract: Вопрос о значении для России решения проблемы гендерного неравенства является дискуссионным. Это связано с тем, что в стране есть социальные группы, которые считают, что использование опыта европейских стран по проведению политики гендерного равенства приведет к разрушению традиционных ценностей и культурного кода страны. Данная точка зрения отражена в статье «Гендерные стратегии «мягкой силы» НПО как инструмент переформатирования культурного года общества и государства в России». Не все согласны с выводами, к которым приходят ее авторы, поэтому и появилась данная статья, в которой обсуждается степень научной обоснованности подобных суждений, а также слабые места в аргументации авторов.English Abstract: The question of importance of solving the problem of the gender inequality for Russia is controversial in national science today. This related to the fact that there are social groups in the country, who believe that the usage of the experience of European countries in the implementation of the gender equality policy will lead to the destruction of the traditional values and cultural code of the country. This point of view is reflected in the article "Gender soft power strategy of NGO as a tool of reformatting the cultural code of society and state in Russia". The authors discuss the activity of NGO, which have status as a foreign agent, and their researches of the gender issues in Russia. Not all scientists agree with the conclusions of these authors. As a result this paper was written. The degree of scientific validity of such conclusions is discussed in it. In order to show the weak points of the argumentation of her opponents the author argues the following statements: 1.There are many examples of violation of the women rights in Russia. Some of Russian gender issues are presented in this article too. Therefore, the gender legislation is necessary. And it is not only related with the protection of the rights of sexual minorities. 2. Adoption of the gender equality law is the duty of the State, which have signed the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). 3. Involvement of the church institution into conduction of social policy, including the family policy, it may destroy the concept of the separation of church and state. 4. Underestimation of the importance of solutions of gender issues for social development caused by the gender incompetence of the decision-makers and ordinary citizens.
